Landrieu thinks ending the tolls will hamper the quality and upkeep of the bridge, and also create a backlog of traffic in New Orleans.

"If the funding is not there the lights will go off," said Landrieu. "Local governments will not pick it up and if the funding is not there, the traffic on this bridge is going to choke a horse."

Earlier this week, people against the tolls came together for a news conference.

State Rep. Patrick Connick, R-Marrero, said he said the issue boils down to broken promises.

"They made the same promises to toll payers in 1998 saying if tolls go away we won't have the infrastructure on the West Bank," said Connick. "Where is the infrastructure, where are the jobs these tolls are supposed to bring in."
